I no longer go to the gym to workout (did all through college and a couple years after, bulked up TOO much and pretty much stopped and focused on cardio), but I still do push/pull ups. Other than than that it is usually along the lines of...
M - break
T - run 4 miles
W - run 4 miles
Th - indoor soccer game
Fr - break
Sa - run 5 miles
Su - outdoor soccer game or run 4 miles
Depending on my personal and soccer game schedule things may change a bit but that is pretty much it

Right now my work out (just started going to the gym for the first time ever) is as follows:
Any advice is glady taken btw.
Mon: Legs (quads, hams, calves)
Tues: Cardio (if DOMS didn't set in which is becoming less of a prob this past week)/ abs
Weds: Back/Biceps/traps
Thurs: Cardio/abs
Fri: Chest/Triceps/shoulders
Without getting into every exercise I do 12 sets on leg days, 15 sets of back work, 6 sets of biceps, I need to add more to my chest workout I am only doing 9 sets I could easily get this up to 12-16, 6 sets triceps, 6 sets shoulders.
Right now I weigh 146 and am trying to get another ten pounds muscle. I am getting all my macros and calories in on workout days, but not sure how much I should eat on cardio days. I am supplementing with a decent whey isolate, powerbars and biorhythm afterglow (taken right after my workout due to high levels of glutamine in it), fish oil, and a good multi vitamin.
I am on week 3 of my first routine ever at the gym and know there is more I should be doing and will have to change things up in another couple weeks. I can feel myself getting stronger (I can do more each week whether more weight or reps), but I am not getting any bigger at least not on the scale it seems.
I'll admit I have been avoiding some of the core exercises (squats, deads, bench) until I have a little more strength, I have instead been doing incline dumbell presses and flys, leg presses and leg curls, and I'll be adding hyperextensions to my back workout this week. I want to move on to the more complex lifts though soon. Did most of you guys just start off doing these or did you focus more on isolation in the beginning?
Sorry for the length of this and I know I prob won't even get a reply for like a month as this part of the forum is pretty slow.

Yeah I love CF. Best workouts IMO. I've been going to my cousin's bf's gym and it's a mix of boot camp/crossfit. A little strict (no music allowed WTF!!!!!!) One workout was in 20 minutes as many rounds as possible:
20 jump squats
20 lunges (10 each leg)
20 squats
20 jump lunges (10 each leg)
Run across parking lot 200m +-
Did 3 rounds and my legs still hurt almost a week later although I have had to do a lot of sprinting since then.

If you are just starting out, there is no way you should be doing a workout prescribed or technical lifting movements. Any trainer/gym that is worth anything or knows what they are doing are going to have a beginners program, usually called "on ramp" that is mandatory that you begin in. These classes teach the basics of the Olympic lifts, movements, etc. before progressing onto the normal Crossfit classes. I'd highly recommend checking it out.
Also, with regards to squats, deads, bench, no better way to build that strength then to start doing the exercises correctly. Check out some of these articles from Mark Rippetoe:
http://www.t-nation.com/ALSAuthor.do...petoe&pageNo=1
If you are looking for a strength program, I suggest doing some research online and finding a strength based program from Rippetoe, Wendler 5/3/1, etc. If overall fitness with some strength is more your thing, check out Crossfit.

The thing I like the best about Crossfit is it is scalable for any and all athletic and strength levels and you really make it as hard as you want. If you find a good gym with good trainers, you can go in there after sitting on the couch for 20 years and begin working out. That is the one thing I think Crossfit and ESPN did wrong when showing the Games on ESPN. Everyone thinks you have to be in crazy good shape and every workout that is done is balls to the wall and crazy intense. That isn't the case at all. You just need to be informed and check out the "boxes" in your area.

Currently doing functional workouts. So, stuff like benchpress until failure and immediately doing as many push-ups as possible. Repeat for 3 sets.
Then, the next exercise. Key is high reps...It's a nice change of pace to my more traditional lifting routine that I've been doing for the last few years.

M: Chest then Triceps (always includes flat bench press)
B: Back then Biceps (usually include lat pull downs, rows, narrow pull ups)
W: Shoulders (sometimes finish with pushups and self dips supersets)
Th: Legs (focus on deadlift, squat, leg press)
F: Chest & Biceps (alternating)
S: Back & Triceps (alternating)
Su: Cardio (or break if lazy)
been pretty intense so far, and I'm seeing quicker gains. Used to have 2 cardio days and 1 break day so I basically got rid of 1 cardio and 1 break and just did more muscle.
but I had my appendix removed on Sunday (pain hit at the gym) so I'll be out for a bit.

guess it's just cause it says to take a serving each day that I feel I'm wasting it if not doing something.

Lol, I understand that cell tech is a brand, but ppl also use that as slang for steriods, I seriously thought you just said you were juicing and that's why you could work out so much. Good thing I re-read it haha. Good luck with your workout out goals
#177
So from when I got my appendix out (20 May) to now, I lost 4.2 pounds. I'm hoping most of that was the appendix. I start back on Friday.

Current routine minus a few sets on legs instead of squatting and then doing leg press, I squat for 3-4 sets and do 3 sets of walking lunges, and I don't do both standing and seated calf raises. Getting the rep timing down is the hardest thing for me especially on the last few reps.

but crap man, I did legs on Thursday and it still hurts to sit down. I plop on the toilet.
Did deadlift drop sets from 10X165 dropping 10 to 10X135 (was afraid of failure if I started higher)
Hammies are ok, its my quads that are still on fire
10X175 dropping 10 pounds to end at 10X145 for squats while gently touching the edge of a bench.
Flat machine leg press, one step closer than usual, 4 drop sets again, then same thing on calf machine. I currently walk with a gangsta limp. Not sure how what would have been easy 2 weeks ago has become killer.
Did chest and bis today. less strength, and unfortunately less endurance as well. but I'm not too sore there.
#181
Mine is probably a little different from the rest, as I don't like to lift. When I lift I gain too much mass and feel like my athletic ability suffers. I do about 7 hours of Jiu-Jitsu and run 40+ miles a week. When I have some free time I'm moving boulders to build a rock wall. I lack some of the explosive strength that I used to have, but my endurance is still pretty good.

I get DOMS every time I do legs just got suck it up. If your already doing squats you can prob replace the leg press with lunges or step-ups. Drops sets for deadlift and squats though? Do you mean your dropping the weight and banging out more reps without a break ( a true drop set) or are you just doing less weight each set with a normal break in between sets?

Im a college freshman...so my workout is basically if i have time, i'll go crazy in the gym. My first semester I gained a lot of weight...freshman 15 is an understatement. I lost track of my diet and workouts, but this semester I decided to make it a little easier. I'm center my workout around these few exercises:
-Deadlift (traditional)
-Bentover row (barbell traditional)
-Squat (traditional)
-Bench press (flat and incline)
-Lat pulldown (different grips)
And add in 30 minutes of low intensity cardio afterwards.
I think by keeping it simple with these compound exercises I'll be able to re-obtain that v shape and not overcomplicate it. Also its a time saver by doing 6 sets of two exercises vs 2 or 3 sets of several exercises.
Diet wise, keep it clean. Not much I can do because campus food is just so unhealthy but keep it as clean as possible.

Out of curiosity, what are your goals for this program?
I'm in the middle of a 6 week Smolov Jr squat cycle. Second time I've done it, and while it's incredibly brutal it gets your central nervous system to fire like nothing I've ever experienced. The strength gains are also pretty damn amazing.

I no longer go to the gym to workout (did all through college and a couple years after, bulked up TOO much and pretty much stopped and focused on cardio), but I still do push/pull ups. Other than than that it is usually along the lines of...
M - break
T - run 4 miles
W - run 4 miles
Th - indoor soccer game
Fr - break
Sa - run 5 miles
Su - outdoor soccer game or run 4 miles
Depending on my personal and soccer game schedule things may change a bit but that is pretty much it

Debating on doing the Dallas marathon coming up soon. I really need to start doing intervals again. I still do push-ups but have pretty much gotten off of all weight workouts. I am fine knowing no matter how many squats or lunges I do, my legs will never get bigger.

Hah yea, crazy. I remember when I first started.. couldn't run 1 mile without being having to take several breaks.
Depends. I've run a few big races and it is great feeling of accomplishment, but at the same time it's at least $100+ dollars, plus you have to wake up very early, plus there are 20k other people there. A lot of times I do my own 'race'... same distance and try as hard as if it were a big race, but it is free and can do it at my own time.

A lot of times I do my own 'race'... same distance and try as hard as if it were a big race, but it is free and can do it at my own time.

Any post workout carbs or intra workout amino's being consumed?
Out of curiosity, what are your goals for this program?
I'm in the middle of a 6 week Smolov Jr squat cycle. Second time I've done it, and while it's incredibly brutal it gets your central nervous system to fire like nothing I've ever experienced. The strength gains are also pretty damn amazing.
Mon: Squat
Tues: Recovery
Wed: Squat
Thurs: Recovery
Fri: Squat
Sat: Squat
Sun: Recovery

Goals are Strength/Fat Burn. 7-10 reps per exercise with maybe 30s rest between sets. Just enough time to go up in weight and grab a quick swig of water.
And your program sounds like what I did in college for baseball being a catcher haha

Aminos come after the workout in the protein complex. And usually if I don't eat a meal right after I work out I'll have a piece of fruit just to get some carbs in me.

I was one of those guys that always hated leg day and would only squat once a week or maybe once every other week if I had an excuse. I started getting into Oly lifting a couple years ago and the only thing holding me back has been leg strength so I've converted into a guy that can't wait to squat. I still work everything else, but during this Smolov cycle I'm not doing hardly anything due to the intensity of the squats.
